Roll out on floured board ¼" or so, then cut with cookie cutter. Place on greased baking sheet and bake at 350º for 12 to 15 minutes until bottoms are light brown.

Personal Notes:
I got this recipe from a dear friend of mine, Flo Stirman. She had gotten it from an older lady in 1999 who verified this was about 150 years old at that time. I have to share it because it's simple, not sweet, so it's great with coffee and they stay soft.
